Few people ever view the library from this perspective, but
something special and different is required for the additional shelves
on the main floor. The new shelves not only provide more shelf space,
but divide the library somewhat, making it less a bare study hall in
which people are likely to be distracted by sounds and sights around
them.

Study Project
Elving Anderson, chairman of
the department of biological sci-ences,
has been granted a leave-of-
absence next year to work full
time at the University of Minne-sota
on a nation-wide study of
neurological defects.
Dr. Anderson has been serving
as a consultant in organizing the
Collaborative Project on Cerebral
Palsy and Other Neurological and
Sensory Defects of Infancy and
Childhood at the University.
Research is being conducted in
genetics, neurology and neuropath-ology,
obstetrics, and pediatrics.
The genetic aspects are of particu-lar
concern to Dr. Anderson.
In 19'57, sixteen universities be-gan
investigating the problems of
why babies die before birth, why
they are born with physical de-fects,
and why and how abnormal-ities
develop in the first few years
of life.
With more than 10 million dol-lars
of federal funds from the U.S.
Public Health service, this study
was established as a cooperative
venture to be carried out on ap-proximately
50 thousand women
and their children over a period of
at least five years.
Richard Sorvig, college junior,
recently won a superior rating at
detailed office work, so as to free
Mr. Stjernstrom from many of
the campus responsibilities. There
are four areas in connection with
the new position: student promo-tion;
publicity publication; alumni
functions; and contacts with
churches supporting Bethel. Mr.
Friberg will plan tours for pros-pective
students, and he may also
do some speaking in churches on
weekends.
He came from Albany, Oregon,
to enroll in Bethel college seven
years ago. For the past three
summers he has been an assistant
pastor in various churches.
Recently he resigned from a
church in Willmar, Minnesota,
where he had held this position
for nine months.

Editorial
Bethel Faces Financial
Deficit of $49,130
In a recent message to the Baptist General conference througn the
Standard, official conference organ, Bethel's President Lundquist made
some statements and observations that should be important to Bethel
students. He observed that-
1. According to current trends, April 30 will find Bethel with a defi-cit
of $49,130, not including the borrowing from reserves of $44,078 to
balance the budget last year.
2. In the decision to cut the school's program, the president found
his "hardest task."
3. This decision means the elimination of one department entirely
and the non-return of three teachers.
4. This decision also means that admissions to the freshman class
will be limited for the first time next fall.
5. "It seems strange that this should happen in a year that other-wise
many of us think is the finest we have known on the campus. The
blessing of God has been manifest . .. kind of staff the Lord has led
to Bethel . . . the spirit of dedication among the students . . . The spirit-ual
impact of the school . . ."
President Lundquist continued and concluded discussing this finan-cial
problem and its possible alleviation.
So, the institution finishes in the red for the first time, drops sev-eral
faculty members (which means one department plus some), and
limits admissions for the first time.
At many schools a year-end deficit isn't unusual, but Bethel has
remained remarkably unscarred through the course of progress. Bethel's
improvement and expansion finally outran income. There are no real
alternatives; if Bethel is to resume progress in the years to come, more
money must come in. This doesn't mean that income has been down this
year, because it hasn't. But progress is expensive.
The loss of faculty members cannot be termed desirable. A depart-ment
is gone and also three teachers. Fortunately in certain areas
plans have been in the offing for several years that are perhaps even
aided by these developments.
These plans have been in the area of experimentation in independent
study.
The elimination of some faculty will somewhat pressure consolida-tion
of courses in line with this ultimate program, for next year. This
doesn't mean that independent study emphasis is less expensive than the
present system; it is actually more expensive. Although earlier plan-ning
makes the cutback a less drastic change the progress of the Bethel
program is going to be more expensive.
It is perhaps a minor problem that admissions will be limited but
it should be remembered that limitations will mean priority to confer-ence
young people, which means problems for non-conference youth and
for the campus's welfare in that quality called vitality. This assumes,
of course, that conference youth are an homogenous lot.
All isn't lost, but future alumni should concern themselves with
the school's welfare.
Opportunities
with NSA
The National Student associa-tion,
Educational Travel, Inc., will
at last be able to offer the college
and university student the oppor-tunity
to study abroad and com-bine
his study with family living
and extended travel. There are
two varied programs: one in
France and one to South America.
Each student partaking in the
French program will be a member
of a "unit" which will study in
France, travel through France and
Italy, and share the experience of
co-operative living with a French
family.
The all-inclusive tour price for
a summer of study and travel is
$795. This cost represents a par-tial
scholarship which is subsidiz-ed
by the National Student assoc-iation.
The price covers trans-At-lantic
passage, all meals, living ex-penses,
sightseeing, excursions and
museum entrance fees.
Students selecting the South Am-erica
study program will have an
opportunity to participate in a
unique student travel arrangement.
Not only will the student be or-ientated
for his travels, but he
will also be able to benefit from
the experiences drawn from the
extensive travel in South America.
A thorough orientation program
will be carried out in Miami prior
to departure for Brazil at which

time the student will become a-ware
of the aims and values of
the trip.
The tour will travel between
countries by air. The price of $795
for 52 days includes round-trip
transportation (Miami-Miami), all
accommodations, three meals daily,
all sightseeing and excursions.
Because the National Student
association wishes to extend this
field of student travel, the cost
of the study tour to South America
includes a partial scholarship. Only
students of exceptional ability will
be selected for the program.

2nd Article
on Europe
by Maurice Lawson
Two high school seniors were
riding with me recently out to
Camp St. Croix, on the border of
Wisconsin. One said, "I was in
Wisconsin one other time." The
other said, "That's nothing. I was
in South Dakota once." When I
told my thirteen year old boy of
the conversation he said, "Dad!
Think where I've been—all over
the United States! And you've been
all over Europe."
It is wonderful to have travelled
seven thousand miles of the most
historically significant continent on
earth, to remember when a place
is mentioned that you have walked
the cobblestone streets of that city,
have peered into its tiny shops,
have watched the splash of the
water in its fountains, have push-ed
your way through the crowds
at the market.
I will remember always the
quiet upland meadows of Scotland
—the grey roofs and the chimney
pots of London—the sturdy, brown
picture-book houses of Switzerland
—the bearded free-lance artists of
the Montmartre—the sophisticated
prostitutes lingering on the side-walks
of Pigalle—the wild flight
of Alpha-Romeos over the winding
mountain roads of Italy—the tired
grey stones of Rome—the tiny
shrine carved into the rocky ledge
by Plain Just
We crept down the stairs. Glancing up and down
the carol (however you spell it) desks, we saw
nothing but sedentary life vegetating there. So we
began our feverish search through the stacks (book-shelves,
that is). We were startled by a library as-sistant
who suddenly appeared mumbling some-thing
about the location of the Mississippi Valley
something.
We successfully by-passed a freshman catching
up on world political background in a 1955 edition
of Life. One more obstacle and we would be there.
The only barrier was a former political science ma-jor
seminarian perusing the Congressional Record
for speeches by John Kennedy.
A quick vault and we were over a recently do-nated
collection of 2,800 volumes of the New Har-mony
Daily, and we were there. In our little corner
we waited for our cohorts. Finally we were all
there: Fred Impassivitess, Fred Unconcernson, Fred
Indifferentia (a mechanic, carrying six hours of
literature to improve his mind), Fred dull Ness,
and Austin Healy (freshman son of a faculty mem-ber,
whom we accepted with some reluctance), and
US.
There we were in our third annual meeting of
the SPESA (Society for Preservation and Encour-agement
of Student Apathy). We were charter
members, except Austin of course. But we were
the same number due to the loss of Sonata Apa-thetique
who said he had lost all enthusiasm for
the apathy cause.
Austin, the secretary, forgot the minutes of the
last meeting—said he thought they'd been dropped
in a March of Dimes canister with a couple pen-nies,
up at the Flameburger.
Our meeting consisted of progress reports alone.
Impassivitess and Unconcernson, who had overcome
nationality prejudice to work together, reported
that they had infiltrated the Spire staff and had
three sympathizers. Impassivitess, paradoxically an
optimist, estimated that if they kept getting more
influential a 1961 Spire would be out of the ques-tion,
and with luck the 1960 volume would be de-layed
in delivery by the Christmas rush.
Indifferentia and dull Ness, who had come out
of retirement from spreading apathy on the battle-field
of the intramural floor, reported that about
60% of the intramural spring sports championships
would be decided by forfeit.
Young Austin reported that he, a future psy-chology
major, had been a verbal wolf in sheep's
clothing, by veiling his cynicism in enthusiasm, so
as not to be suspected. "After all, I am a freshman."
We said that we were doing well with public
relations and had made friends with leaders on
both dormitory councils, the convocation commit-tee,
and the pre-seminary association.
Austin then proposed that one of us run for stu-dent
senate office in the spring, but we immediately
informed him that such an action would be against
even our system of values. Young Austin got ex-ceedingly
angry; he even threatened to tell his
father about us. He broke up the meeting by ex-ploding
out of our corner of ethereal shadows tak-ing
six volumes of the New Harmony Daily with
him.
We sat in wondering silence. Unconcernson said,
"What if he squeals. I knew we shouldn't let him
in the group. If only we hadn't lost Sonata Apa-thetique."
We reassured Fred that Austin wasn't enthus-iastic
enough to do anything. Fred turned to us and
smiled, and we watched him creep past the Congres-sional
Record (that guy was still there), and as
we waited our turn we wiped a tear from our eye,
and felt that lack of surge in our breast that is
apathy.

Team Brings Home Two
Wins From Wisconsin
Northland Dumps Bethel;
Two Tied for Loop Lead
Northland college of Ashland, Wisconsin defeated Bethel college
last Saturday night and also knocked Bethel out of sole possession of
the Badger-Gopher conference lead. Northland playing on their home
court and will Bill Arntsen leading the way blasted Bethel in the sec-ond
half of the game to acquire an impressive 69-57 victory and also a
portion of the league lead.
Northland, who had previously been defeated by Bethel, had trou-ble
with the Royal five during the first half of the ball game. Bethel
looked very strong and were able to end the first half of the game lead-ing
by a three point margin.
The second half told another
story, however, as Northland came
back fast and strong. They started
to use a tight man-to-man defense
which put a strong press on the
Royal guards. Bethel's offensive
play was hampered by this, and its
partial result was a low shooting
percentage. Bill Arntsen, a small
Northland guard, had only hit for
four points during the first half
of the game, but in the second
half he began to rip the nets, and
when the game ended he had ac-cumulated
a total of 23 points. At the same time it seemed almost im-possible
for the Bethel team to score. The outcome of the half was, of
course, not good (in our sight), and when the final buzzer sounded
Bethel was trailing by twelve points, 69-'57.
In the scoring department, Wayne Kindall was high for Bethel with
19 points. Truman Turnquist swished through 12, while Les Borms
scored nine; and Mery Sheplee and John Peterson scored eight apiece.
For Northland the high scorer was Bill Arntsen with 23; Frank Hunter
was second with 18 points. Free throws played an important part in the
scoring for Northand as the team connected for 18 out of 23.
The story isn't finished, however. Bethel and Northland now hold
identical 6-1 conference records. It is probable that both teams will go
undefeated for the rest of the season (only three games left). We think
this will happen and predict that the season will end in a tie for con-ference
championship.
The thought haunts us, as it does all Bethel fans, that, "It was a
rough one to lose."

Tuesday, February 16, 1960
The women's intramural athletic program, headed by Sue Bodien, is
under full swing for all interested women students.
The students have been placed on one of six teams and competition
is being held in volleyball. Team four is leading thus far with a 2-0 re-cord.
Teams one, two, three, and five have 1-1 records while team six
is still awaiting its first win.
Bethel Falls
to Sioux Falls
and River Falls
by Gordon Bear
With the finals behind them, the
Bethel Royals traveled to Sioux
Falls, South Dakota on Jan. 30
to suffer their fourth non-confer-ence
loss by a score of 80-69.
The game was close until the
starting five of Bethel fouled out.
The opponents, putting their free
throw opportunities to work for
them and taking full advantage of
the Bethel handicap, humbled the
Royals who had previously beaten
them the first basketball game of
the season.
On Feb. 6, a week later, the
Bethel squad was matched in a
home game against the River Falls
Falcons and again came out on
the short end of a 76-68 score.
The tall Falcons started out fast
and were leading 20-16 when ten
minutes had passed. But the blue
and gold with good outside shoot-ing
from the guards came to the
half leading 3'5-34.
The second half was the decisive
part of the game. The opponents
started out with a full court press
against Bethel and continued
through the entire game. Ahead
with the press, the Falcons used
their superior height in the back
court to work off the pivot and
bring the game to 58-49 with ten
minutes remaining.
The point margin remained the
same until Bethel started rally-ing,
with four minutes remaining
they began to hit the nets. It was
too late, however, as the Falcons
began to stall and the game ended
with Bethel on the tail end of a
72-68 score.
The "B" squad game saw the
River Falls team win by a score
of 64-43. Bud Pierce, assistant
basketball coach, used the entire
Royal team.

As the basketball intramural
program gets ready for its fifth
set of games, the Barons find
themselves still in command with
an undefeated record in four
games. Hot on their heels though,
are the two teams that are battling
for second place, the Peasants and
Dukes, each owning a three and
one record.
The Counts and Knights are tied
for third place with two and two
records, and are still in contention
for the coveted number one spot.
Still two other teams, the Pages
and Squires, are all knotted up
for fourth with one and three re-cords,
while the Jesters, who still
have yet to see a game in their
win column, bring up last place
with their zero and four mark.
Unlike intramural volleyball,
these basketball games enjoy fairly
good participation, and only one
game out of the sixteen that have
been played to date, has been for-feited
by the absence of players.
The basketball games are usually
very skillfully played, and these
teams run up some pretty healthy
varsity-sized scores in their quest
for victory.
The Knights won their Feb. 3
game by an impressive 110-73
score, and in their last game, the
Dukes equalled this mark by win-ning
110-57. Also in this game, the
Duke's Sid Duren set an individual
scoring high when he dumped in
46 points.

A hearty gang of Bethel Royal
basketball players invaded Wis-consin
for two important Badger-
Gopher Conference tussles on Jan.
22, 23.
In the first game, played Friday
evening, Jan. 22, at Northwestern,
Wisconsin, Bethel romped into
triple scoring figures as they
dumped their Northwestern Col-lege
foes, 102-86. After a close
first half, which ended with the
Royals in front, 43-40, a great
team effort enabled Bethel to roll
up the final victory margin and
win going away. A torrid team
shooting percentage was led by
guards Mery Sheplee and Les

Walfred (Crazy Legs) Peterson,
captain of the Faculty Diletantes,
led his squad to victory in an ille-gal
basketball (Koffee Kup) con-test
over the Student Senate
HudRivS. (This name was given
to them by one of the Eugene
Johnson children when she saw
the magnificent motion and beauty
of the very steps of the Senators
and exclaimed, "It looks like the
Hudson River School.")
Actually the HudRivS outscored
the Dils 41-37, but referee Les
Borms, who no longer has a friend
in the student body, announced that
due to last year's overwhelming
victory (53-51) by the senate, the
the faculty team had been awarded
a ten point handicap.
Upon consultation, Lynn Lundin,
expert, said, "They do it in golf."
Much could be said about many
of the players, but perhaps the
epitome of sacrifice was exhibited
Borms who racked up 28 and 23
points, respectively.
In a crucial Saturday night bat-tle
at Milton, Wisconsin, the Roy-als
asserted full rights to first
place in the conference by belting
their nearest rival, the Milton
Wildcats, 62-58. This see-saw
struggle was a thriller all the way,
with Milton threatening for the
last time with a minute and thirty
seconds remaining. The Cats
couldn't overcome a six point lead,
however, and succumbed to Bethel's
ball-handling poise.
Playing a good floor game and
leading the individual scoring was
captain Truman Turnquist with 20
points for the Royals. The squad
returned home in good spirits fol-lowing
this highly successful road

The Bethel Royals downed the
Northland college five of Ashland,
Wisconsin on Saturday, Jan. 16,
1960, by a score of 68-58.
The first half of the game was
slowly played and the strong de-fense
of Bethel enabled them to
end up on top of a 31-26 score. The
second half play was similar with
very little scoring done during
the first ten minutes. The Royals
controlled the play throughout the
remainder of the game and the
final score saw Bethel over North-land
68-58.

Editorial
Bethel Faces Financial
Deficit of $49,130
In a recent message to the Baptist General conference througn the
Standard, official conference organ, Bethel's President Lundquist made
some statements and observations that should be important to Bethel
students. He observed that-
1. According to current trends, April 30 will find Bethel with a defi-cit
of $49,130, not including the borrowing from reserves of $44,078 to
balance the budget last year.
2. In the decision to cut the school's program, the president found
his "hardest task."
3. This decision means the elimination of one department entirely
and the non-return of three teachers.
4. This decision also means that admissions to the freshman class
will be limited for the first time next fall.
5. "It seems strange that this should happen in a year that other-wise
many of us think is the finest we have known on the campus. The
blessing of God has been manifest . .. kind of staff the Lord has led
to Bethel . . . the spirit of dedication among the students . . . The spirit-ual
impact of the school . . ."
President Lundquist continued and concluded discussing this finan-cial
problem and its possible alleviation.
So, the institution finishes in the red for the first time, drops sev-eral
faculty members (which means one department plus some), and
limits admissions for the first time.
At many schools a year-end deficit isn't unusual, but Bethel has
remained remarkably unscarred through the course of progress. Bethel's
improvement and expansion finally outran income. There are no real
alternatives; if Bethel is to resume progress in the years to come, more
money must come in. This doesn't mean that income has been down this
year, because it hasn't. But progress is expensive.
The loss of faculty members cannot be termed desirable. A depart-ment
is gone and also three teachers. Fortunately in certain areas
plans have been in the offing for several years that are perhaps even
aided by these developments.
These plans have been in the area of experimentation in independent
study.
The elimination of some faculty will somewhat pressure consolida-tion
of courses in line with this ultimate program, for next year. This
doesn't mean that independent study emphasis is less expensive than the
present system; it is actually more expensive. Although earlier plan-ning
makes the cutback a less drastic change the progress of the Bethel
program is going to be more expensive.
It is perhaps a minor problem that admissions will be limited but
it should be remembered that limitations will mean priority to confer-ence
young people, which means problems for non-conference youth and
for the campus's welfare in that quality called vitality. This assumes,
of course, that conference youth are an homogenous lot.
All isn't lost, but future alumni should concern themselves with
the school's welfare.
Opportunities

The National Student associa-tion,
Educational Travel, Inc., will
at last be able to offer the college
and university student the oppor-tunity
to study abroad and com-bine
his study with family living
and extended travel. There are
two varied programs: one in
France and one to South America.
Each student partaking in the
French program will be a member
of a "unit" which will study in
France, travel through France and
Italy, and share the experience of
co-operative living with a French
family.
The all-inclusive tour price for
a summer of study and travel is
$795. This cost represents a par-tial
scholarship which is subsidiz-ed
by the National Student assoc-iation.
The price covers trans-At-lantic
passage, all meals, living ex-penses,
sightseeing, excursions and
museum entrance fees.
Students selecting the South Am-erica
study program will have an
opportunity to participate in a
unique student travel arrangement.
Not only will the student be or-ientated
for his travels, but he
will also be able to benefit from
the experiences drawn from the
extensive travel in South America.
A thorough orientation program
will be carried out in Miami prior
to departure for Brazil at which

the trip.
The tour will travel between
countries by air. The price of $795
for 52 days includes round-trip
transportation (Miami-Miami), all
accommodations, three meals daily,
all sightseeing and excursions.
Because the National Student
association wishes to extend this
field of student travel, the cost
of the study tour to South America
includes a partial scholarship. Only
students of exceptional ability will
be selected for the program.

2nd Article
on Europe
by Maurice Lawson
Two high school seniors were
riding with me recently out to
Camp St. Croix, on the border of
Wisconsin. One said, "I was in
Wisconsin one other time." The
other said, "That's nothing. I was
in South Dakota once." When I
told my thirteen year old boy of
the conversation he said, "Dad!
Think where I've been—all over
the United States! And you've been
all over Europe."
It is wonderful to have travelled
seven thousand miles of the most
historically significant continent on
earth, to remember when a place
is mentioned that you have walked
the cobblestone streets of that city,
have peered into its tiny shops,
have watched the splash of the
water in its fountains, have push-ed
your way through the crowds
at the market.
I will remember always the
quiet upland meadows of Scotland
—the grey roofs and the chimney
pots of London—the sturdy, brown
picture-book houses of Switzerland
—the bearded free-lance artists of
the Montmartre—the sophisticated
prostitutes lingering on the side-walks
of Pigalle—the wild flight
of Alpha-Romeos over the winding
mountain roads of Italy—the tired
grey stones of Rome—the tiny
shrine carved into the rocky ledge
by Plain Just
We crept down the stairs. Glancing up and down
the carol (however you spell it) desks, we saw
nothing but sedentary life vegetating there. So we
began our feverish search through the stacks (book-shelves,
that is). We were startled by a library as-sistant
who suddenly appeared mumbling some-thing
about the location of the Mississippi Valley
something.
We successfully by-passed a freshman catching
up on world political background in a 1955 edition
of Life. One more obstacle and we would be there.
The only barrier was a former political science ma-jor
seminarian perusing the Congressional Record
for speeches by John Kennedy.
A quick vault and we were over a recently do-nated
collection of 2,800 volumes of the New Har-mony
Daily, and we were there. In our little corner
we waited for our cohorts. Finally we were all
there: Fred Impassivitess, Fred Unconcernson, Fred
Indifferentia (a mechanic, carrying six hours of
literature to improve his mind), Fred dull Ness,
and Austin Healy (freshman son of a faculty mem-ber,
whom we accepted with some reluctance), and
US.
There we were in our third annual meeting of
the SPESA (Society for Preservation and Encour-agement
of Student Apathy). We were charter
members, except Austin of course. But we were
the same number due to the loss of Sonata Apa-thetique
who said he had lost all enthusiasm for
the apathy cause.
Austin, the secretary, forgot the minutes of the
last meeting—said he thought they'd been dropped
in a March of Dimes canister with a couple pen-nies,
up at the Flameburger.
Our meeting consisted of progress reports alone.
Impassivitess and Unconcernson, who had overcome
nationality prejudice to work together, reported
that they had infiltrated the Spire staff and had
three sympathizers. Impassivitess, paradoxically an
optimist, estimated that if they kept getting more
influential a 1961 Spire would be out of the ques-tion,
and with luck the 1960 volume would be de-layed
in delivery by the Christmas rush.
Indifferentia and dull Ness, who had come out
of retirement from spreading apathy on the battle-field
of the intramural floor, reported that about
60% of the intramural spring sports championships
would be decided by forfeit.
Young Austin reported that he, a future psy-chology
major, had been a verbal wolf in sheep's
clothing, by veiling his cynicism in enthusiasm, so
as not to be suspected. "After all, I am a freshman."
We said that we were doing well with public
relations and had made friends with leaders on
both dormitory councils, the convocation commit-tee,
and the pre-seminary association.
Austin then proposed that one of us run for stu-dent
senate office in the spring, but we immediately
informed him that such an action would be against
even our system of values. Young Austin got ex-ceedingly
angry; he even threatened to tell his
father about us. He broke up the meeting by ex-ploding
out of our corner of ethereal shadows tak-ing
six volumes of the New Harmony Daily with
him.
We sat in wondering silence. Unconcernson said,
"What if he squeals. I knew we shouldn't let him
in the group. If only we hadn't lost Sonata Apa-thetique."
We reassured Fred that Austin wasn't enthus-iastic
enough to do anything. Fred turned to us and
smiled, and we watched him creep past the Congres-sional
Record (that guy was still there), and as
we waited our turn we wiped a tear from our eye,
and felt that lack of surge in our breast that is
apathy.

Team Brings Home Two
Wins From Wisconsin
Northland Dumps Bethel;
Two Tied for Loop Lead
Northland college of Ashland, Wisconsin defeated Bethel college
last Saturday night and also knocked Bethel out of sole possession of
the Badger-Gopher conference lead. Northland playing on their home
court and will Bill Arntsen leading the way blasted Bethel in the sec-ond
half of the game to acquire an impressive 69-57 victory and also a
portion of the league lead.
Northland, who had previously been defeated by Bethel, had trou-ble
with the Royal five during the first half of the ball game. Bethel
looked very strong and were able to end the first half of the game lead-ing
by a three point margin.
The second half told another
story, however, as Northland came
back fast and strong. They started
to use a tight man-to-man defense
which put a strong press on the
Royal guards. Bethel's offensive
play was hampered by this, and its
partial result was a low shooting
percentage. Bill Arntsen, a small
Northland guard, had only hit for
four points during the first half
of the game, but in the second
half he began to rip the nets, and
when the game ended he had ac-cumulated
a total of 23 points. At the same time it seemed almost im-possible
for the Bethel team to score. The outcome of the half was, of
course, not good (in our sight), and when the final buzzer sounded
Bethel was trailing by twelve points, 69-'57.
In the scoring department, Wayne Kindall was high for Bethel with
19 points. Truman Turnquist swished through 12, while Les Borms
scored nine; and Mery Sheplee and John Peterson scored eight apiece.
For Northland the high scorer was Bill Arntsen with 23; Frank Hunter
was second with 18 points. Free throws played an important part in the
scoring for Northand as the team connected for 18 out of 23.
The story isn't finished, however. Bethel and Northland now hold
identical 6-1 conference records. It is probable that both teams will go
undefeated for the rest of the season (only three games left). We think
this will happen and predict that the season will end in a tie for con-ference
championship.
The thought haunts us, as it does all Bethel fans, that, "It was a
rough one to lose."

The women's intramural athletic program, headed by Sue Bodien, is
under full swing for all interested women students.
The students have been placed on one of six teams and competition
is being held in volleyball. Team four is leading thus far with a 2-0 re-cord.
Teams one, two, three, and five have 1-1 records while team six
is still awaiting its first win.
Bethel Falls
to Sioux Falls
and River Falls
by Gordon Bear
With the finals behind them, the
Bethel Royals traveled to Sioux
Falls, South Dakota on Jan. 30
to suffer their fourth non-confer-ence
loss by a score of 80-69.
The game was close until the
starting five of Bethel fouled out.
The opponents, putting their free
throw opportunities to work for
them and taking full advantage of
the Bethel handicap, humbled the
Royals who had previously beaten
them the first basketball game of
the season.
On Feb. 6, a week later, the
Bethel squad was matched in a
home game against the River Falls
Falcons and again came out on
the short end of a 76-68 score.
The tall Falcons started out fast
and were leading 20-16 when ten
minutes had passed. But the blue
and gold with good outside shoot-ing
from the guards came to the
half leading 3'5-34.
The second half was the decisive
part of the game. The opponents
started out with a full court press
against Bethel and continued
through the entire game. Ahead
with the press, the Falcons used
their superior height in the back
court to work off the pivot and
bring the game to 58-49 with ten
minutes remaining.
The point margin remained the
same until Bethel started rally-ing,
with four minutes remaining
they began to hit the nets. It was
too late, however, as the Falcons
began to stall and the game ended
with Bethel on the tail end of a
72-68 score.
The "B" squad game saw the
River Falls team win by a score
of 64-43. Bud Pierce, assistant
basketball coach, used the entire
Royal team.

As the basketball intramural
program gets ready for its fifth
set of games, the Barons find
themselves still in command with
an undefeated record in four
games. Hot on their heels though,
are the two teams that are battling
for second place, the Peasants and
Dukes, each owning a three and
one record.
The Counts and Knights are tied
for third place with two and two
records, and are still in contention
for the coveted number one spot.
Still two other teams, the Pages
and Squires, are all knotted up
for fourth with one and three re-cords,
while the Jesters, who still
have yet to see a game in their
win column, bring up last place
with their zero and four mark.
Unlike intramural volleyball,
these basketball games enjoy fairly
good participation, and only one
game out of the sixteen that have
been played to date, has been for-feited
by the absence of players.
The basketball games are usually
very skillfully played, and these
teams run up some pretty healthy
varsity-sized scores in their quest
for victory.
The Knights won their Feb. 3
game by an impressive 110-73
score, and in their last game, the
Dukes equalled this mark by win-ning
110-57. Also in this game, the
Duke's Sid Duren set an individual
scoring high when he dumped in
46 points.

A hearty gang of Bethel Royal
basketball players invaded Wis-consin

In the first game, played Friday

Wisconsin, Bethel romped into
triple scoring figures as they
dumped their Northwestern Col-lege
foes, 102-86. After a close
first half, which ended with the
Royals in front, 43-40, a great
team effort enabled Bethel to roll

Walfred (Crazy Legs) Peterson,
captain of the Faculty Diletantes,
led his squad to victory in an ille-gal
basketball (Koffee Kup) con-test
over the Student Senate
HudRivS. (This name was given
to them by one of the Eugene
Johnson children when she saw
the magnificent motion and beauty
of the very steps of the Senators
and exclaimed, "It looks like the
Hudson River School.")
Actually the HudRivS outscored
the Dils 41-37, but referee Les
Borms, who no longer has a friend
in the student body, announced that
due to last year's overwhelming
victory (53-51) by the senate, the
the faculty team had been awarded
a ten point handicap.
Upon consultation, Lynn Lundin,
expert, said, "They do it in golf."
Much could be said about many
of the players, but perhaps the
epitome of sacrifice was exhibited
Borms who racked up 28 and 23
points, respectively.
In a crucial Saturday night bat-tle
at Milton, Wisconsin, the Roy-als
asserted full rights to first
place in the conference by belting
their nearest rival, the Milton
Wildcats, 62-58. This see-saw
struggle was a thriller all the way,
with Milton threatening for the
last time with a minute and thirty
seconds remaining. The Cats
couldn't overcome a six point lead,
however, and succumbed to Bethel's
ball-handling poise.

Royals Win Over
Northland, 68-58
The Bethel Royals downed the
Northland college five of Ashland,
Wisconsin on Saturday, Jan. 16,
1960, by a score of 68-58.
The first half of the game was
slowly played and the strong de-fense
of Bethel enabled them to
end up on top of a 31-26 score. The
second half play was similar with
very little scoring done during
the first ten minutes. The Royals
controlled the play throughout the
remainder of the game and the
final score saw Bethel over North-land
68-58.
